Further, this bit from TDNT
It is found more frequently in later ecclesiastical use, often with ἀνάθεμα, to give weight to a solemn curse. There is always quotation from, or allusion to, 1 C. 16:22. Thus in a Christian burial inscr. from Salamis (either 4th or 5th cent., CIG, IV, 9303) we read: (Whoever lays another corpse in this grave between the two who rest here) … ἀνάθεμα ἤτω· μαραναθάν. Cf. also the canon of the Fourth Council of Toledo (633 a.d.): qui contra hanc nostram definitionem praesumpserit, anathema maranatha hoc est, perditio in adventu domini sit (can. 75).
So 'maranatha' does seem to have functioned as a curse. That's quite contrary to the usual explanation.
